The west experienced tremendous growth after the civil war; nowhere was this more apparent than in southwest. write an essay on the consequences of population growth on the western landscape, looking at farming, livelihoods, the impact of the railroad, the growth of indian reservations, and the subjugation of indian peoples. also, explain how america became involved in the pacific region in the latter half of the nineteenth century because of commerce.

Rail connections to the Great Plains had a devastating impact particularly on animals which were hunted for food and leather. Within a decade most of the animals were almost extinct which was largely due to population growth and means of transport provided by the railroad.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
